PAYMENTS...

Upon booking your safari, a $500 "Booking Fee" is due as earnest money to "save the date" and will be credited toward Hunt Rate at the completion of your safari. A
deposit of 50% of your total hunt rate is required 45 days after booking your safari, which coincides with finalization and signatures of your Safari Contract. The final 50%deposit
of your total hunt rate is due 6 months prior to the commencement of your safari. All payments are due within 30 days of the due date, or your safari is subject to cancellation do to lack of payment. The "Booking Fee" is non-refundable for lack of any payment. Your "Final Safari Invoice" which includes Trophy fees from animals killed (or
wounded,draw blood) is payable upon receipt. Your trophies may be "held" awaiting payment in full ofyour "Final Safari Invoice" (Gajogo is not responsible for
damage to trophies pending extended delays awaiting this payment, and after one year, reserves the right to dispose of the trophies by any legal means).Hunt rates become locked upon
commencement of your safari unless you choose to "move-up/upgrade" the Hunting Category of your safari (this increases
the total Hunt Rate cost of your Safari by hunting or harvesting a higher valued Hunting Category trophy animal).Trophy fee rates are based upon the Gajogo Safarilands Price Guidelines for the year that your
safari commences, which can be different from the price originally quoted when booked. Gajogo Safarilands does accept credit cards with 3% fee, and Personal Cheques, Certified Cheques, Traveler's Cheques, Money Orders, Bank Wires, Electronic Transfers, or Cash are all acceptable. Prices are subject to
change without notice. Payments should be made in USA dollars to: Gajogo Safarilands, LLC (unless otherwise arranged).

CANCELLATIONS…

Refunds
are provided based upon the commencement of your safari as defined in your Safari Contract. Upon signature of your Safari Contract (or 1 year prior to your safari commencement date), your booking fee is forfeited for any cancellation. A full refund of all deposits will be
provided if cancelled prior to 6 months.
If cancelled between 6 and 3 months, 50% of paid deposits will be refunded. If you cancel inside of 3 months of your
hunt commencement, all paid deposits and fees are forfeited. Gajogo will however, gladly work with you to try to reschedule your safari to a date that is mutually agreed (within the next year only). A $500 re-booking fee will apply to reschedule any safari once the contract is signed.

TIPPING, ALWAYS A QUESTION...

So how much is the "proper" amount to tip? Well, there is no right answer, but to save a lot of angst, here's a guideline that you can use (or discard). In either case it might give you a starting point. First, a few of general rules: 1) there is no requirement to tip anybody, and if you do tip, not everybody needs to get tipped the 'same' amount; 2) tip only people who deserve tips (tell your safari operator, who didn't get tipped, so that his problems can be fixed before his next safari); 3) if possible, tip personally (don't give tips to be doled out by management) and take your time...put meaning into your effort; 4) work with your Safari Operator early, so dollars can be exchanged into local currancy...the guys really appreciate that, because they have to get to town to exchange, and that's not easy. So here's the middle of the road gouge for a tip for someone who is doing a very reasonable job:

PH's: $50/day;Trackers, Spotters, Gun bearers (with you in the Cruiser and on foot): $10/day;Skinner and Chef: $8/day;Waiters, House Boys (laundry, cleaning, etc): $7/day;Game Scouts, Assistant Skinners, Assistant Cooks, Receptionist: $5/day;and finally, everyone else: $3/day. Any Management tipping is strictly optional and generally not accomplished.And finally, some folks prefer to just tip based on a percentage of Total Trophy fee...say 15%. Really, it is up to you!

Now a thought about budgetting for all of this. Here are the numbers on Gajogo's staff: One each PH, Tracker, Spotter (doubles as gun bearer if requested), Skinner, Chef, Assistant Skinner, Assistant Cook; Waiter, Receptionist. Three each House Boys, and lastly 12 Game Scouts, who do all Gajogo's patrolling for poachers. Working it all out, assuming you tipped everyone, it comes to about $160/day for tipping. So, there's a number that you can plug into your budget and massage as necessary. Remember, tipping is your tool to reward those who have excelled in making your safari great.
